Zac Harmon Band performed at Garland Audubon Park during the Garland Sounds of Summer Series last month.

Born and raised in Jackson, Mississippi, Zac Harmon was exposed to a lot of blues music growing up and eventually became the embodiment of the music that emanated from the historic Farish Street district.

Today, Harmon is an award-winning guitarist, singer, and songwriter whose distinctive style continues the lineage of American Blues music. Harmon recently received the award for Soul Blues Album of the Year for his latest recording at the 43rd Annual Blues Music Awards.

Members of the band are: Drum – Gino Lock Johnson; Bass – Nate Robinson; Piano – Corey Lacey
